E0146C348A28FFEEFB7AC017FDF7FC0A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species-group can be distinguished by the combination of the small size (4.8 – 6.5 mm in length) and body entirely covered in large, evenly spaced punctures. Two of the species formerly belonged to the genus Ctesicles, now a synonym of Diastolinus (Ivie and Hart 2016). These species almost certainly belong to the same lineage as they are especially distinct from the other Diastolinus species, however, they share all of the characters with the larger species that define the genus. The “ ctesicles ” speciesgroup is distributed in the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles from Martinique south to Grenada (Fig. 102).	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

Adults have been recorded from deciduous litter, litter under cactus and bromeliads, beach litter, beach wrack, and under trash. They have been collected at night on the ground as well as from flight intercept traps (FIT) and Berlese samples. Specimens have been found at elevations ranging 0 – 106 m above sea level.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A06FFEAFABBC183FDC4FDCD.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This is the oldest, and type, species in Diastolinus. Its nomenclatural history has been clouded by misidentifications, both using this name for populations that are not conspecific and using other names for this species. The synonymical tables record these misadventures, mostly by or resulting from work by Marcuzzi. Our findings are that this is a single-bank endemic of the St. Croix Bank, and all other records for this species are moved to other species.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A02FFE8F8BCC22CFDC2FEDA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from D. clathratus by the matte elytra, not shiny, and lack of confluent punctation on the elytra, and from other species by the combination of the tiny punctation on the pronotum, lack of setae on the pronotal disc, humeri equal in width to the base of the pronotum, lack of armed male tibia, male parameres straight, not sinuate in lateral view, and with widest point of parameres basally then tapering evenly. The aedeagus is very similar in form to that of D. clathratus.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A. (2016): A Revision of the Genus Diastolinus Mulsant and Rey (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).

Hypomeron feebly rugulose, feebly rugulose, almost impunctate laterally. Prosternal process blunt, punctate, white semi-erect setae about length of puncture diameter visible. Scutellum (Fig. 12) small, triangular, about 2 X times wider than long. Elytron gradually broadening from base to widest point opposite posterior margin of metaventrite, then evenly arcuate to apices; striae impressed; strial punctures deep, distinct, never confluent; intervals slightly convex, punctation minute, evenly spaced. Stria 7 ending in lateral stria at humeral angle. Mesoventrite smooth, almost shiny; punctures shallow, sparse. Metaventrite short, punctate on anterior border behind mesocoxae. Leg (Fig. 12) surfaces setose and finely punctate. Protibia narrow, expanding gradually in distal 3 / 4; dorsolateral margin nearly straight; posteroventral surface with stout spines in apical 2 / 3; apex obliquely truncate, ringed by stout spines. Protarsus with tarsomeres 1 – 3 expanded, ventrally with golden, densely setose pads, tarsomere 2 widest, more than 2 X width of tarsomere 4. Mesotarsus with tarsomeres 1 – 3 weakly expanded, ventrally with densely setose pads. Metatarsus narrow, about 3 / 4 as long as metatibia, without setose pads; 1 st tarsomere 2 X length of 2 nd. Abdominal ventrites (Fig. 13) finely punctate; ventrites 1 – 2 slightly concave medially, concavity extending onto intercoxal process; anterior border of ventrite 1, just behind hind coxae, with row of heavy punctures, slightly extending onto intercoxal process; ventrites 2 and 3 laterally with row of heavy punctures on anterior edge, typically indistinct on medial concavity; ventrite 3 slightly concave antero-medially; ventrite 5 flattened medially, posterior margin evenly rounded. Aedeagus (Figs. 14, 15, 100) with basal piece and parameres strongly arched, less than 1 / 3 elytral length; parameres widest basally, narrowed apically; parameres with straight lateral margin, chisel-like, not undulate or with upturned tips in lateral view. Female. Length 7.2 – 10.5 mm, width 3.8 – 4.9 mm. Similar to male except body typically larger, more robust than male. Pro- and mesotarsi not heavily expanded. Abdominal ventrites 1 – 3 slightly convex medially; ventrite 5 slightly convex; ovipositor as in Fig. 101.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A02FFE8F8BCC22CFDC2FEDA.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species has a tortured nomenclatural history, with misidentifications both adding island records that are incorrect and naming or using existing names that are synonyms for members of this species. As shown in the synonymical lists, this species’ name has been widely reported in the region, but our findings show that it is a Puerto Rican Bank endemic. The exceptions are Mona and Monito in the Mona Passage to the west of the Puerto Rican Bank. Human assisted introductions may explain those populations, or over water disperal.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A17FFE9F8BCC6FEFEFBFA6F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from most other Puerto Rico species by the large, elongate oval body and the anterior margin of the pronotal bead complete. It is similar in overall appearance to D. victori, but can be distinguished by the combination of comparatively shallow elytral punctation, the punctation on abdominal ventrites 2 and 3 shallow, and the male genitalia differ in form.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A15FFC2FAC6C0DFFC9DF991.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from most other Puerto Rican species by the combination of the small, narrow body, nearly glabrous abdominal ventrites, short gular horn, presence of very few short setae on the upper surface, and width across the humeri equal to the base of the pronotum. This species resembles D. tibidens, but males do not have armed front tibiae.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A28FFE6FADEC253FBAEF921.taxon	discussion	Commments. Marcuzzi (1977) lists three specimens of C. insularis in Naturalis, Leiden to anchor this record, but two of these specimens are actually in Marcuzzi’ s collection in Genoa (MSNG). We have examined those, and they are not C. insularis but are conspecific with D. hoppae. The specimens are actually not from the island of Martinique, but from Martinique’ s satellite island, Îlet Hardy, so, strictly speaking, the early Martinique records are errors. Although this record seems to belong here, the Îlet Hardy material is not included in the type series. In 2001, Marcuzzi recorded C. insularis from mainland Martinique, but we have seen no vouchers for that record. We include it here provisionally.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A00FFE8F8A5C0B8FE59F9D1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other species by the combination of the somewhat parallel-sided body, setose dorsal surface, matte black elytra with non-confluent strial punctures, two or fewer punctures evident on the sutural stria, small gular horns, evenly rounded lateral edges of the pronotum with the widest point appearing anterior of hind angles, and male genitalia with weakly sinuate parameres that are subparallel with a bluntly rounded apex. This species closely resembles D. shieli, but can be distinguished by the less dense and shorter setae and abdominal ventrites 2 – 3 with larger, deeper punctation on the anterior border.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A00FFE8F8A5C0B8FE59F9D1.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Echoing the situation for D. chalumeaui above, this species also has an extensive literature history based entirely on misidentifications. None of the five species whose names have been used for populations belonging to this species actually occur on the Leeward Islands. Although the islands where this species occurs were not a single Pleistocene bank, they were all very close during the eusatastic minima. Antigua and Barbuda were connected on the Barbuda- Antigua Shelf, as were adjacent St. Eustatius, St. Kitts, and Nevis on the Statia Shelf. Saba was very close to both these large islands. Only Montserrat is a geographic outlier, as it would have been expected to have D. chalumeui, rather than D. leewardensis. The existence of the singleisland endemic D. shieli on Redonda, located between Montserrat and Nevis and in sight of both, is also a surprise. Since Redonda stands between the D. leewardensis populations on Nevis and Montserrat, it would be expected to either have the Nevis-Montserrat species, share one with Montserrat, or predict an endemic on Montserrat. Nature is most interesting when it provides these conundrums.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A. (2016): A Revision of the Genus Diastolinus Mulsant and Rey (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).

E0146C348A0DFFF1F97BC0DFFB20F9D2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. As redefined by Ivie and Hart (2016), this genus can be recognized and separated from other “ blapstinoids ” by a combination of the elytra fused together in fully developed specimens; the elytral striae are typically strongly punctate and impressed; the elytra have the anterior end of stria 8 displaced laterad, ending at the lateral stria, cut off from the base of the elytra by stria 7, which also curves laterad and ends either at the humeral angle or on the lateral stria (Figs. 2, 27, 88); the metathoracic wings are reduced or absent; the metaventrite is very short, usually shorter than the mesocoxal cavity (Fig. 57); intercoxal process of ventrite 1 broad, truncate anteriorly (Figs. 5, 9, 13, 29); ventrite 1 immediately behind the metacoxa is modified with a row of greatly enlarged deep pits (e. g., Figs. 5, 9, 13, 29), and the aedeagus is strongly arched in lateral view (e. g., Figs. 11, 15). The parameres are highly variable in dorsal view but are never of the truncate / flared type. Additionally, the genus can be separated from Goajiria because the male profemur is usually not armed; if so, the tooth is in the basal third and the male mesofemur is without a setose patch below in the basal half.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

Mesoventrite (Fig. 2) short, deeply impressed to receive prosternal process; variously punctate or rugulose or glabrous. Metathoracic wings extremely reduced or absent. Metaventrite (Fig. 2) short, usually equal to or shorter than mesocoxal cavity; typically with punctate on anterior border behind mesocoxae. Leg (Fig. 2) surfaces variably setose and punctate; relatively short. Femora sometimes swollen, bulging. Male profemur not armed, except rarely with small spine basally, male mesofemur without setose patch below in basal 1 / 2. Protibia typically expanding gradually in distal 2 / 3; surface with variably stout spines. Male protarsus with tarsomeres 1 – 3 expanded, tarsomere 2 widest, typically 1.5 – 2.0 X width of tarsomere 4, ventrally with golden, densely setose pads; female protarus not expanded. Mesotarsus in male sometimes with tarsomeres 1 – 3 expanded or weakly expanded, ventrally with densely setose pads; female mesotarsus not expanded. Metatarsus narrow, without setose pads. Abdominal ventrites variably punctate; intercoxal process of ventrite 1 broad, truncate anteriorly; male ventrites 1 – 3 typically slightly concave medially; female ventrites 1 – 3 slightly convex or flattened medially; anterior border of ventrite 1 with row of distinct heavy pits at anterior edge bordering posterior margin of hind coxae, sometimes punctures extending onto intercoxal process (sometimes ventrites 2 and 3 with similar punctation).

Larvae. Some purported larvae have been described (Marcuzzi and Cravera 1981). However, we have not confirmed the association between the adult and larvae, and given the massive misidentifications discovered in Marcuzzi’ s work (Ivie and Hart 2016), none of these descriptions can be trusted to even belong to this genus.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

It appears that the most common habitats for Diastolinus species are seasonally dry tropical woodlands. Specimens have been found mostly by unspecified general hand collecting, though some have been taken in pitfall traps, leaf litter samples, under fallen vegetation such as cacti, or in nests of the brown booby nests, Sula leucogaster (Boddaert). Collecting localities vary from low lying coastal thorn scrub, dunes and beaches at 0 m, and up to 2,100 m above sea level in dry tropical forest.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A0DFFF1F97BC0DFFB20F9D2.taxon	discussion	Recognition of Informal Species-Groups within Diastolinus The members of Diastolinus currently recognized are diverse in form and size, however, they can be separated into three informal speciesgroups that are useful in discussing specimens, although they probably do not all constitute monophyletic groups. The “ clathratus ” speciesgroup (Table 1) includes some of the oldest names originally associated with Diastolinus, including the type species of the genus. The “ clathratus ” species-group is distributed throughout Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the northern Lesser Antilles south to Dominica. The species in this group (Figs. 1 – 29) are oval, moderate to large in size (6.9 – 10.6 mm long), with the anterior third of the elytra not constricted, the base of the elytra equal to or subequal to the width of the base of the pronotum, and the male protibiae never armed. The “ sellio ” species-group (Table 2) is distributed in southern Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The members of this species-group (Figs. 30 – 79) are small to large (6.1 – 10.6 mm in length) and characterized by the constriction of the anterior third of the elytra, anterior of the point where stria 8 joins the lateral stria, to less than the basal width of the pronotum. The elytra may expand anterior of the constricted point to subequal the width of the posterior edge of the pronotum, or the posterior edge of pronotum may be wider than the base of the elytra. The femora are typically swollen and clavate, especially in the male fore legs. The male protibiae are often armed with a distinct, stout spine. The “ ctesicles ” species-group (Table 3) is distributed in the Lesser Antilles from Martinique south to Grenada. They are small in size (4.8 – 6.5 mm in length), elongate, with the pronotum widest before the mid-point, and the elytra slightly broader across the humeri than the base of the pronotum and entirely covered in large, evenly spaced punctures (Figs. 80 – 97).

The identity of this specimen is unknown at this time, thus it is placed incertae sedis. In spite of three species names being involved, there is only a single record here. We can trace the record to Leng and Mutchler (1914), but no voucher has been found. It may originate earlier, but we have been unable to find it. In 1957, Marcuzzi did not cite a specimen for his Martinique record of D. perforatus in his table. In 1962, he dropped the D. perforatus record for Martinique, rather moving it to D. hummelincki with a “? ” In 1977, D. hummelincki was replaced with D. mulsanti, and the Martinique record retained. Lastly, in 1984, the Martinique record for D. perforatus was reinstated by Marcuzzi, apparently forgetting he moved it to D. hummelincki / mulsanti, which was also retained. Peck (2011 b, 2016) listed it twice, under two names, without understanding the records.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A1FFFE9F896C058FEABFBAF.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The early history of this name is significantly confused. The earliest use seems to have been by Schönherr (1806) who used “ Opat. perforatum ” as a nomen nudum attributed to Gyllenhal placed in synonymy with Fabricius’ (1792) valid name Blaps punctata (and subsequent uses of punctata by Herbst and Panzer). Next usage was Dejean (1821) who treated it as the valid name perforatum from “ Am. Ins. ” in a list of Opatrum and also attributed the species epithet to Gyllenhal. “ Valid ” here means that Dejean considered it a valid species, not that the name was made available, as there was no description. Two years later, Sahlberg (1823) first applied a description to the name Opatrum perforatum, also attributing it to Gyllenhal. He also treated the name as valid. This description is the first to associate the name with St. Barthélemy in print and tie the name to a specimen, probably using the same specimens first labeled by Gyllenhal, as both worked out of the Stockholm museum. This type is in the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, according to their list of species held (www 2. nrm. se / en / col _ p. html). Next, Muslant and Rey (1859) moved the name to Diastolinus and continued to cite Gyllenhal as the author, dating it to Schönherr (1806), also treating it as a valid species rather than a synonym of B. punctata, stating “ (en exclusant les syn. de Fabr,. Herbst et Panzer). ” We have nothing after this until Leng and Mutchler (1914) who cite Sahlberg as the author. Enter Gebien (1938) who cataloged the world Tenebrionidae. He used Sahlberg (1823) as the author, as did Blackwelder (1945), and everything thereafter. Under ICZN (1999) Art. 11.6, Schönherr’ s (1806) use as a synonym does not make the name perforatum available. However, under Art. 11.6.1, if the name is subsequently used as an available name, it would become available as Opatrum perforatum Schönherr, 1806. Under Art. 72.4.3. “ The type series of a nominal species-group taxon of which the name was first published as a junior synonym, but was made available before 1961 under the provisions of Article 11.6, consists of the specimen (or specimens) cited with that name in the published synonymy, or, if none was cited there, denoted by that name when it was adopted as the name of a taxon. ” Schönherr referenced no specimen, so the type designation moves to Sahlberg. Thus, the type of Opatrum perforatum Schönherr, 1806 is the specimen Sahlberg (1823) cited, which is Gyllenhal’ s specimen from St. Barthélemy in Stockholm. The history of this species after this early period is no less confused. Perhaps no species better represents the mess left behind by Marcuzzi than this one. As can be seen in the synonymical tables in this paper and Ivie and Hart (2016), Marcuzzi used this name apparently at random for any specimen he had at hand. The fact that the species is a single-bank endemic is totally contrary to the use of the name in the last 50 years.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A1AFFCBF8BFC7AEFC2EFA1B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named for the noted West Indian-born science fiction novelist Matthew Phipps Shiell (21 July 1865 – 17 February 1947), mostly known as M. P. Shiel, the first to claim the throne of the legendary Kingdom of Redonda. Note that his surname at birth had one “ l ” more than his pen name, and our epithet in his honor follows his use on his writings. Shiel assumed the title of King Felipe until, sans issue, he passed it to his appointed heir and literary executor, John Gawsworth. Though the control over the physical jurisdiction of the actual island is clear, the current succession of the title is disputed.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A1AFFCBF8BFC7AEFC2EFA1B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other species by the combination of the somewhat parallel-sided body, setose dorsal surface, matte black elytra with non-confluent strial punctures, two or fewer punctures evident on the sutural stria, small gular horns, evenly rounded lateral edges of the pronotum with the widest point appearing anterior of the hind angles, and male genitalia with weakly sinuate parameres that are subparallel with a bluntly rounded apex. This species closely resembles D. leewardensis, but can be distinguished by the denser and longer setae and abdominal ventrites 2 – 3 with shallow punctation on the anterior border. The status of the Redonda population as a species that differs from those of the islands surrounding it on three sides (Fig. 106) is interesting, but apparently correct.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A1AFFCBF8BFC7AEFC2EFA1B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The existence of this species is perhaps the most surprising finding of this study. Redonda is the apex of an extinct volcano between Nevis and Montserrat, rising steeply from the sea with no beach or landing. The entire island is cinder, with no sand areas like those where most Diastolinus are found. Redonda rises to a peak at 296 m and was never connected to any other island. The range of D. leewardensis surrounds it on three sides (Fig. 106) and appears to be the sister-species.	en	Hart, Charles J., Ivie, Michael A.

E0146C348A1BFFEEF93FC1A6FE4DFD3E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species-group can be distinguished by a combination of small to large size (6.1 – 10.6 mm in length); constricted anterior 1 / 3 of the elytra, anterior of the point where stria 8 joins the lateral stria, to narrower than the basal width of the pronotum (the elytra sometimes expand anteriorly from the constricted point to subequal the width of the posterior edge of the pronotum or the posterior edge of pronotum wider than the base of the elytra); femora typically swollen and clavate, especially in the male fore legs; and male protibia often armed with a distinct stout spine. This group contains all of the former members of the genus Sellio and several species originally described in Diastolinus. The previous classification of Sellio as a separate genus had issues as there were species that were intermediates in form. What formerly was considered a separate genus is merely a grade, although useful for identification purposes.
